About us

About Craft Pricing Lab

Free calculators, templates, and plain-English guides that help handmade sellers price their work with confidence.

Why this site exists

Many makers underprice because the hidden costs are easy to miss: labor, overhead, waste, and platform fees. Pricing and inventory software usually charges a monthly fee that a small shop cannot always justify. Craft Pricing Lab gives you the core math for free.

Free tools first

Calculators and templates that do the math for you, with no signup.

Guides that show the math

Every guide includes a worked dollar example and a table you can check.

Sourced numbers

Fee rates come from the platforms’ own pages, with the date we checked them.

  • Primary sources with datesFee and tax facts link to the platform or agency that publishes them, with a “checked on” date.
  • Tested formulasCalculator changes are checked against fixed worked examples before they go live. See How We Calculate.
  • Regular reviewsFee figures and market examples are reviewed every few months, and pages show when they were last updated.
  • CorrectionsSpot an error? Tell us and we will check it and fix the page.
